    Re: HTTP Browser with Proxy support!

    VB comes complete with the WebBrowser component that does exactly this. It uses IE settings so if you change proxy it'll affect IE as well as webbrowser, but it's pretty much what you need :-)

    I love helping noobs with their VB problems (probably because, as an amateur programmer, I am only slightly better at VB than them :-)) but if you SERIOUSLY want to get help for free from a community such as VBForums, you have to first have a grounding (basic knowledge) in VB6, otherwise you're way too much work to help...You've got to give a little if you want to get help from us, in other words!

We are happy to help with minor things regarding the project, but you have to understand the rest of it if you want our help to be useful.

    Re: HTTP Browser with Proxy support!

    Then what you're basically asking for is something that can download *and* display HTML. My suggestion again would be the webbrowser component, but *only* for displaying images. You could download HTML with inet/winsock and display it in the webbrowser easy enough. Beyond that, I'm useless though...I've never done that myself, although I have had a go at using inet to download for displaying in WB with a few problems

    You can quite easly download the source with Inet, find the appropriate tag, download the image to temp and display it in a PictureBox

    Re: HTTP Browser with Proxy support!

    Please could someone give me a link to some code that will allow me to download a webpage through a proxy server and save it to hard drive then view it through the IE control!!!

    **IMPORTANT** I do not want to use proxy settings to do with IE>Tools>Internet Options...>Connections> LAN SETTINGS!!!

    Static's written code that can write to the WB directly, all you have to do is sort out downloading through inet (should be easy enough to set up proxy through that, shouldn't it?) and then you just write it directly onto the WB
